Hello Gary, thanks for your message.
 GI> I am a Captain Paramedic. I have been a paramedic 
 GI> since 1974. Base salary of
 GI> about $80,000. With overtime, I have earned over 
 GI> $40,000 thus far this year.
 
   Is there a demand for paramedics? Is this a career you would recommend 
getting into? I am going to take an EMT course this fall at our local 
community college. This class will enable me to become certified as an EMT-I. 
Then, there are more classes to advance up to paramedic. 
   Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated.
  
                        Thank you,
                        David Linzer
